Aother craigslist find...

[Guest]

Found these from an 86 GSXR 750..Not sure what I am going to do with them yet, but I could not pass em up. Came with the rear wheel 18" 3.50, tire is a Michelin 160/60/18, the front wheel is an 18" 2.75 with a Dunlop 110/80/18. The swingarm, sprockets, forks and rotors were all included. forks tubes look really good..

Those would look really nice on my Beast project.

Im thinking the swingarm will probably bolt right up, the shock might be another issue but swapping out the rear means swapping out the front forks and that leads to a kazillion more small projects...do I sound tired?

oh yeah paid $75 bucks

Yes they would! I was thinking maybe a mono shocked 83 Kat dressed up white and blue like an 06 gixxer!

I am a sick man!

Joe,
That 160/60-18 is way too big for a 3.5x18" wheel. In fact I think it is too big for a 4.0x18" wheel. That looks like a Road Pilot right?

One more thing to watch out for is the 750's came with a different caliper/mount I think due to a smaller front rotor than 1100's

Also teh 750 swinger is a little shorter than the 1100 Gixxer. I could measure out the GSXR 1100 and compare if you need.

Jim,
Not sure what I'm going to do with them yet, may save them for my next project or sell them. I actually went and looked at an 86 GSXR 750 today, same guy who had the wheels. He wanted $800 for the bike, it was pretty ragged out, but all the parts were there. I passed on it but he had a bunch of extra parts to go with it. Could have been a decent project if I could have got it for $300 - $400. I bought the extra front end and rear end he had for $75.00.
